The British Library has taken on an extremely ambitious project...they are about to start a ten year endeavor to make 300 years of British journalism public. The project will involve scanning and cataloging of about 40 million pages of newsprint and microfilms. The pages will eventually be posted online.

The British Library hasn't contacted GRM Document Management for the project, but preserving history through our digital services is one of the things we do best. Our digital conversion services are able to scan and QC thousands of documents at a time, ensuring that the image is not just fast, but accurate. We index the documents in a format that is password protected and easily searchable.

The story reminds me of one that was told to me at a local ARMA chapter meeting. A records manager for a very large, old, multi-national corporation was discussing the benefits of adhering to a strict retention program vs. the historical value of old records. She said that they ran across a challenge recently that seemed to have no precedent and no obvious solution. Then, someone accidentally ran across a record from the 19th century! The record was from the founder of the company who had anticipated that very problem and the solution.

GRM Document Management recognizes the importance of a strict retention policy. It's vital that some records are destroyed at the end of their life to protect both clients and the company. However, every company has records that might be of historical value one day. Talk to GRM Document Management about preserving and cataloging those records for the future of the company.
